Dr. Laura Engel, Professor of International Education and International Affairs and UNESCO Co-Chair, served as a panelist at the event, "Unlearning Intolerance: Global Citizenship Education and SDG 16," held at the United Nations Headquarters in New York City. The event was organized by the Asia Pacific Centre of Education for International Understanding (APCEIU).
Per the event description:
The Unlearning Intolerance series was launched by the United Nations in 2004 to examine means of preventing manifestations of intolerance and violent extremism along with promoting respect and understanding among people. It represents an opportunity to discuss how intolerance - wherever it exists and for whatever reason – can be unlearned through education, inclusion and example. As the Unlearning Intolerance series commemorates its 20th anniversary, the University for Peace and Asia-Pacific Centre of Education for International Understanding under the auspices of UNESCO (APCEIU) is privileged to endorse and collaborate on the seminar, with a focus on the theme 'Unlearning Intolerance: Global Citizenship Education and SDG 16'.
